I could go on forever about the benefits of raw milk and the absolute injustice of our government trying to prevent our access to it. Here’s a happy verdict: Jury finds Not Guilty in Raw Milk trial. I get my milk from the dairy just up the road, The Art of Milk. (That’s a Facebook page.)

What to do about it: Cooking rice with lots of water helps lower arsenic levels Takeaway: Rinse your rice before you cook it until the water is not colored, milky or clouded. Then cook your rice in a 6:1 (water:rice) ratio until the rice is at an eating texture; then drain the water from the rice. This will give you a 35 – 45% reduction as compared to the raw rice. The reduction comes from the draining off of the water that the rice was boiled in, so do not continue boiling until water evaporates. Boiling off the high volume of water will cause zero reduction of Arsenic.
